That his works and that of many others have had a great influencz for zood in the world is a fact poetry has played a more ! portant role than we know. fo poetry speaks to the soul.

AMERICAN TIES WITH JAPANESE SHOWN BY GREW Ambassador Affi Peace Desires of Washington in Speech at Osaka | | Osaka, Japan.--Speaking at a | dinner given in his honor by the | America-Japan Society here, Mr. i Joseph C. Grew made the plain- est declaration of American | ideals since assuming 'the Am- | bassadorship. | Mr. Grew said the peace | machinery as exemplified by the | League of Nations Covenant, the World Court, disarmament ef- forts, and above all the Kellogg pact, represents a definite Am- erican ideal for world peace, The Ambassador did not men- tion Manchuria but made it clear that American adhesion to peace machinery is permanent and ir- revocable. "As for the American people," he declared, "they are heart and soul behind this (peace) movement, and behind those who have labored to bring about a situation -vhere warfare between civilized nations will be as extinct as human slavery in civilized nations is today, "The peace movement repre- gents the fundamental, united. unanimous desire of the Ameri- can people as a whole. By the almost universally accepted Kel- logg pact. adhered to by 62 na- tions, war was renounced as an instrument of national policy. Recallinz the long friendly commercial intercourse between Japan and the United States, he said: "Fourteen American com- nanies have invested nearly 100. 100,000 yen in factory equip- un ent in vour country. These fac- tries. although established by A. ericang, have a substantial Ja) ~nese participation in both eap. 31 and management, use { Japa: ese labor, and purchase a ! large part .of their raw materials here. The purchasing public re- ceives high quality products at the lowest possible price."

As a private in the French army, going through the worst fighting around Verdun, he was promoted on the field for cour- age and decorated afterward by Marshal Foch, who described him as "the bravest map I have ever known." That is the amazing story of a dual personality which has been revealed for the first time by French government department. The coward-hero, an English- man, by birth, was 19 when the war broke out. He was working in France, and hurried home to join an English regiment. Shortly after his arrival on the French front he was involved in an affair resulting in his being charged and convicted of cowar- dice. On the night fixed for the execution the man who was known. as Potter managed to es- cape, and was hidden for some while by a French woman. The hue and cry for him event- ually died down, but apparently driven by remorse, he joined the Foreign Legion, claiming to be an Alsatian. He gave his name as "Henry Mayer." Because he spoke perfect French he was able to get away with it. "Mayer" won the rank of cap- tain, was wounded seven times, and has been mentioned numer- ous times for conspicuous brav- ery. Recently his real identity was discovered by the French police, but it is hoped that he will be shown mercy by his own govern- ment in view of the extraordin- ary circumstances. ------ you go to 200 '"Gfandma, when heaven will you play a harp 'I suppose so, dear."
